File Mover Express 1.1.0 is our first feature release since 1.0.0. It brings single sign-on, a fully redesigned desktop app, faster many-file uploads, and broader distribution across platforms.

Sign-in and a redesigned desktop app​

  • OIDC single sign-on: sign in with your identity provider (Okta and other OIDC providers) instead of managing static credentials.
  • Full GUI redesign on the AWS Cloudscape visual language, upgraded to Angular 22, with a reorganized daemon menu (This Computer / Remote Daemons), redesigned hot-folder cards, and general spacing and icon polish.
  • Native OS file and folder pickers on the path fields when connected to a local daemon, so there is no more manual path typing.

Faster many-file uploads​

  • AutoMAT (opt-in) automatically scales the number of concurrent transfers to the machine instead of using a fixed cap. Toggle it on in Settings.
  • Raised the default max active transfers to 100 and parallelized the "object already exists" pre-check, which significantly speeds up large batches of small files.

Better transfer visibility and control​

  • More accurate pause/resume progress: a two-part progress bar separates committed bytes (never moves backward) from in-flight bytes; skipped files are now counted and visible; elapsed time is preserved across a resume.
  • Job Details split into peer Files and Logs tabs with sortable columns and status filters.
  • Jobs table row actions: a per-row menu mirroring the right-click actions.
  • Renamed the confusing "Force transfers" control to "Overwrite existing files".

Remote daemon and hot folders​

  • Remote-configuration and S3 bucket-browser UX fixes, plus an auth-lockout fix.
  • Hot folders now debounce per folder instead of globally, and a new forceInitialUpload flag controls whether existing files re-upload on start.
  • A configured local starting directory is now honored on every connect.

Reliability fixes​

  • Fixed two recurring daemon crashes (an event-bus "send on closed channel" panic and a transferstats nil-pointer panic) that could crash the daemon mid-transfer.
  • Fixed the bucket report defaulting to the wrong (unauthenticated) configuration.

Distribution and packaging​

  • Linux headless CLI daemon binaries are now published (x64 and arm64). Run the engine on a server, render farm, or cloud instance and drive it from a GUI on another machine. See the Headless Linux Installation guide.
  • MCP server binaries now ship for macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows (x64), and Linux (x64 and arm64).
  • Windows installers embed a readable version resource, honest OS-tokened asset names, and a hard release gate that fails the build if any expected binary is missing.
